One night invitational exhibition of light based work in a unique setting. The work in the show is the only illumination in the space-- creating something that is neither gallery nor theater. Both projections and installations using (artificial) lighting as an integral component were welcome. The show took place at a large empty 2-story warehouse in Franklinton just east of the tracks on West State St. which featured wide open architecture-- large windows, many columns, and corridors that support works of varying scales.
